Chapter 41: In Your Eyes, Is My 【Alice】 Just a Commodity?
Luo Sheng walked to the refrigerator and opened it. Inside were densely packed ingredients.
Fruits and vegetables in red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, indigo, and violet, as well as various fresh ats, cakes, and desserts, all of which looked expensive.
Indeed, she was a wealthy family’s young lady.
Luo Sheng casually took out a bottle of milk and a large piece of mousse.
He needed to quickly replenish his energy.
Glancing at the back of the sofa and the half-visible head, he asked while eating: “Aren’t you a wealthy family’s young lady? Why are you living in a place like this?”
“It’s a secret.”
“Alright, let
know if you need anything.”
Luo Sheng believed in being grateful when receiving help. Of course, it was just a polite phrase; he didn’t think he could actually help her with anything.
However, as he thought this,
Qin Jianjia’s voice ca: “Actually, I do need sothing. Help
repair a card.”
Luo Sheng asked in confusion: “Aren’t you an Enhancer?”
“I’m not confident about this one.”
Qin Jianjia didn’t beat around the bush and took out the 【Frost Flying Dragon】 card. This card had already beco a damaged card.
The actual strength of this bronze 10-star card was now only about bronze 6-star level.
Although the drop in level wasn’t too significant, its power was far from what it used to be. It couldn’t serve as a good assistant anymore and would even waste a lot of spiritual power, making it not worth the effort.
Qin Jianjia had originally wanted to enhance this card, but an unexpected accident occurred, and the card suddenly went berserk.
Fortunately, she stopped the enhancent in ti, preventing the main card from shattering, but the material cards had already vanished into thin air.
“Hmm… No problem, but I can’t guarantee success either. It’s like rolling dice,” Luo Sheng said, biting into his bread and drinking milk.
“Don’t worry, I won’t bla you if it fails. Entrusting it to you is just my last hope for this card,” Qin Jianjia didn’t hesitate and handed the card to him.
“You’ll cover the material costs.”
“Agreed.”
After getting this assurance, Luo Sheng accepted the card. The higher the level of the card, the higher level materials were needed for repair.
Especially for this bronze max star card, the material cards alone would probably cost several hundred thousand. Luo Sheng didn’t want to be the sucker.
However, after repairing such a card, it would surely provide a very rich amount of mysterious energy. He looked forward to this.
As Luo Sheng continued to enjoy his breakfast,
Suddenly, his phone received a ssage.
He opened it and found it was from Xia Xingri:
[I apologize for what happened last ti. I’ll compensate you for the trouble I caused. However, I recently received a business opportunity that needs your help. The reward is enormous. If you agree, co to the Luckin Coffee opposite the Card Master Building in 30 minutes. I’ll be waiting for you there. Xia Xingri.]
Huh?
Luo Sheng was stunned for a mont.
This guy was too strange, suddenly coming to apologize and then talking about a business opportunity.
Luo Sheng had reason to suspect it was a trap.
But what was puzzling was that the given address was quite safe. The area near the Card Building was almost the safest place in Pingcheng.
Because the Pingcheng Guard and Ard Forces were stationed there, if any fight broke out, they could arrive within a minute.
Well, one shouldn’t judge others by one’s own standards.
Luo Sheng told Qin Jianjia about this ssage. If he hadn’t returned by noon, she should start looking for him.
However, Qin Jianjia also told him:
“No need to worry. Given that location, it’s unlikely to be a trap. There’s a huge nullifying barrier around the Card Alliance Building.
All trap or alternate space cards are ineffective, especially at the coffee shop opposite the Card Building.”
This put Luo Sheng’s mind at ease.
He quickly finished his breakfast.
Summoned his motorcycle and drove directly to the coffee shop.
Xia Xingri had been waiting outside the coffee shop. When he saw Luo Sheng, he waved, showing an enthusiastic deanor.
Beside Xia Xingri was a man wearing a brown classic suit, carrying a huge box.
Upon seeing Luo Sheng, he was equally polite, taking off his gloves, extending his hand for a handshake, and saying:
“Hello, I’m Robert, the Card Collector Master. You can call
Paul. It’s an honor to et you, Luo Sheng, the genius boy from Experintal No. 2 School. I have a big business proposition to discuss with you.
Let’s go inside and sit down. I’ve already booked a semi-transparent private room. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
They indeed showed the utmost sincerity.
Because the private room they chose had a floor-to-ceiling window facing the Card Master Building. It was not only soundproof but also transparent, giving Luo Sheng a sense of security.
This so-called Card Collector Master Paul sat on the sofa face to face with him, and ordered two expensive lattes and cappuccinos.
As for Xia Xingri, he stood behind Card Collector Master Paul.
Luo Sheng felt that he must have joined so mysterious society, now looking just like a henchman.
Luo Sheng decided to tell Instructor Su Tianchen about this after returning.
“May I ask what business you want to discuss with ?” Luo Sheng asked straightforwardly.
Uncle Paul took a sip of his black latte, his brown stubble around his mouth.
He smiled and said: “It’s a pleasure to deal with people like you. No need to beat around the bush, so let’s get to the point.”
Then, he leaned back slightly on the sofa and said casually: “I want to buy your 【Alice】.”
Luo Sheng imdiately frowned.
As expected, it wasn’t a legitimate business.
He didn’t refuse outright, but asked:
“Why? There are plenty of girl cards in the Card Building across the street, at low prices. There’s no need to buy the girl card in my possession.”
“No, no, no, those cards have no soul. That’s not a business, just an ordinary transaction,” Uncle Paul refuted his point.
Luo Sheng asked again: “Then what is your business? Buying cards from others?”
Uncle Paul smiled, not minding revealing his secret:
“Our business isn’t as simple as you say. We’re more like middlen. When clients have needs, we help them find the goods they require.”
“So, in your eyes, my 【Alice】 is just a commodity?” Luo Sheng stared at him and said.
